Jaynes-Cummings model with degenerate atomic levels
Решетов Владимир Александрович
The Jaynes-Cummings model describing the interaction of a single linearly- polarized mode of the quantized electromagnetic field with an isolated two- level atom is generalized to the case of atomic levels degenerate in the projections of the angular momenta on the quantization axis, which is a usual case in the experiments. This generalization, like the original model, obtains the explicit solution. The model is applied to calculate the dependence of the atomic level populations on the angle between the polarization of cavity field mode and that of the laser excitation pulse in the experiment with one-atom micromaser.
